JURASSIC PARK

[thx217]

Here's the HOPE that SS will bring us some SWS JP stuffs at SDCC.

I would be interested in a 1:6 articulated raptor. Dreaming, I know.

I would be interested in a 1:6 articulated raptor. Dreaming, I know.

That would actually be REALLY cool. I could see Hot Toys designing a really neat armature underneath a rubber body like their ALIEN figures. But that's if they had the license.

 

[Amanaman]

There's no such thing as a high end dinosaur toy. As a collector and paleo-freak, trust me, I've looked. I see this as a huge opportunity for Sideshow, too good to be wasted. They need to venture out beyond the wimpy dioramas and do what Justin said.

 

[MaulFan]

May as well mention it here, Stan Winston passed away over the weekend, spent the last several years fighting illness but passed away comfortably at home with friends and family.

No way I'm letting this dio hit the cancel bin now, Stan Remembered with another piece in my collection

 

[carbo-fation]

I am really sorry to hear that. I think we should create a new thread for this sad news. R.I.P Stan!

 

[JustinLuck]

How tall would a 1:6 T-Rex be?

 

[The Mike]

A T-Rex was 40 Feet Long and 20 Feet tall.

So in 1/6 that'd be a little over 3 feet tall but 6 1/2 feet wide.

BUMMER !!!

no new JP products

BUMMER !!!

no new JP products

I'm not too surprised, I think this LICENSE is just going to be a one trick pony. At least this is a great dio if it is a one shot deal.

 

[FelMar]

yea, that's true.

...they could've at least announced a nedry bobble head!

 

[Agent23]

That's kinda the problem with having so many licenses, certain licenses are getting the red-headed step-child treatment (IMO).

I agree with you, Allan...

oh well, was really looking forward to some cool dinosaurs and stuff

 

[MaulFan]

Well in fairness to Sideshow, they're still trying to sell this dio, so sales often create the one trick pony pieces. JAWS maquette is still available almost 2 years later.

I'm glad they take on the licenses they do, but properties with smaller fanbases for customers aren't going to thrive well with $200+ pieces, and these things aren't that mass produced either, fairly limited.

 

[Lynxje]

They didn't even bring the dio to comic con did they? what's up with that?

 

[Kratos]

When do you think we will start seeing new JP, LW, JP3 Products?

 

[MaulFan]

Honestly, if we don't see anything before the end of 2008, I'd say we've seen all we're going to see.

 

[Kratos]

That would be a pretty lousey effort by Sideshow if that was the case

 

[JustinLuck]

I'd be interested in seeing a 1/6 Dr. Grant. Maybe Hot Toys can acquire part of the license to make articulated raptors?
